#Poll for current and FORMER users of #Fedora:
If you currently daily-drive Fedora, or have done so within the past five years, what was your overall opinion of it as a desktop OS?
I'm asking with an eye to stability for work use, and ease of upgrade (whether or not the twice-a-year upgrades ever break).
I'm thinking of switching my work machine over from Debian, and possibly using Fedora as the OS that I wean my coworker away from windows with.
Fedora, in my eyes, gives best of both worlds. Stability of the distros with release cycle and fresh software versions like you have in rolling distros.
It has been rock solid for me but I felt overwhelmed with number of unneeded packages it installs. Also, for me, compiling my own packages with rpm is hell on earth.
Just curious, why are you compiling your own packages with RPM?
@as400@mas.toI was :)
In case there was no package available in repositories. I don't use flatpak.
But why not just compile it directly, rather than going through the odd SRPM build process thingy? Am I understanding this correctly?
You do. And yes you can just compile and not use rpm packaging process.
Oh and one more thing... MIcrosoft Systemd :(
